Sustainability and climatle action require data and metrics to successfully measure performance towards goals and targets.  The City of Austin has been pursuing climate action goals since 2007 and city-wide sustainabiltiy metrics since 2010.  This presentation will explore sustainability and climate metrics, data collection, analysis, management, reporting, and successfully using this information to drive performance and change.  With 4-5 years of data from city operations, which include 250 buildigs, 12,000 employees, 5,000 vehicles, a municipally owned water and power utility, as well as community wide sustainability outcomes, the amount of data and opportunities to communicate data are immense.
